Look in your Library Browser under "Materials -Siding", if you additionally want a fully 3-D board and batten siding look you will have to make battens using the soffit tool and methodically placing them, one by one or by using the Transform-Replicate tool (if you have Home Designer Pro). Most usually, I just use a texture and pattern file without actually placing soffit objects for battens as it is time consuming to do but I have done it on many occasions when necessary.

Using HD Pro 2012. The only category under siding that is remotely close is Vertical Panel, which only gives me 5 colors to choose from, not any structure variations. I read your comments regarding the soffit tool and this seems laborious!
